   YUP!Then we could all have had a 4 mile walk.
Carrying our shoties and ammo.
I hit a dozen hunks of state covered in tall grass.
Some BMA's and even a Waterfowl production area, most had some water and huge amounts of hoppers.
Food, water and cover but not a sign of a grouse ever being anyplace near.
No tracks, droppings or feathers.
I have been hearing reports that the cold spring and HOT summer took a toll on the upland birds.
That is just what I saw too. I did see one pheasant.
Three deer all does and many antelope. The bucks are setting up there sections of land waiting for the flocks of does to trip by. A few of the bucks where very nice and looked to be in great shape. This time of year there very stupid like they have never seen a truck stop and glass them, they will lose that soon...

	D, Were you anywhere near the Sun River Game Range? I haven't hunted it for sharptail for over 40 years.
	Trigger Control is knowing when not to pull it.

	No nowhere near there. Went north of town to Power. Freezout used to have good numbers of sharptail 40 years ago. So did Pishkun reservoir.
